2023 NHL Awards: Vezina Trophy

Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets
Ilya Sorokin, New York Islanders
Linus Ullmark, Boston Bruins

Ullmark is the favorite to win the Vezina by a wide margin this season. He led the NHL in wins (40), goals-against average (1.98) and save percentage (.938) for the Bruins, who finished with the most points in a regular season in NHL history.

Hellebuyck finished this season tied for third with 37 wins and tied for fourth with a .920 save percentage for the Jets. Winnipeg was able to make the playoffs thanks in part to Hellebuyck, who enters the final year of his contract. There are rumors he could be moved to another team to sign a long-term extension this offseason.

Sorokin helped the Islanders make the postseason again, finishing in the top-10 in wins, GAA and SV% while seeing the sixth-most shots in the NHL. Sorokin also led the NHL with six shutouts this season. This is the first time Sorokin is a Vezina Trophy finalist. He finished sixth in voting last season.
